Unhappy Oh facial pain is there ever an end?

Hi this is my first forum post ever yay. Been reading everyone else's for years.
I have pain everywhere, but wanted to get some help with facial/tooth pAin I've been having for a few years. My upper jaw hurts from canine to wisdom tooth. The cheek hurts same side, feels like there is a pressure in there. Recently the ride side of nose has started hurting up to my eye and last two days the eye has started hurting. I have a root canal on the first premolar after my canine. It has recently been redone. No change. No one knows what could be causing this pain. I've have four courses if antibiotics which sometimes seem to help. So my dentist thought it was probably the rc tooth. Been to endo he says there is no sign of infection around the tooth, he redrilled everything got what he said were potential branching nerves. I felt pretty good for three days after he did this, then I ate something chewy and all the pain was back.

The trouble is no one knows for sure what tooth if it is even a tooth is bothering me. At my recent appt the endo suggested this isn't tooth pain at all but nerve pain. He's sending me to a neurologist(?) for pain.

Personally I just want to start pulling teeth to try something. Only he tells me it phantom pain and extraction won't help. Any ideas? There is a constant dull pain, and if I do a lot of chewing it gets worse. Sometimes I think it's the wisdom tooth it is a bit over exposed. Other times it feels like it could be all three teeth on a row premolars and first molar. My jaw on the same side also hurts often.
Thanks everyone
